Prayer Portals
12 Doorways to Divine Presence
Stop only learning about prayer and start practicing it! This year-long small group experience invites participants to practice twelve distinct ways of praying, including traditional forms like the Jesus Prayer and praying the hours, to more expressive forms like body prayer and praying in color. The Prayer Portals book journal is a beautiful way for each participant to track their prayer journey, complete with journaling pages and all the notes and instructions needed for each week of the year. In addition to being a book we hope participants will want to hold onto, it will also become a keepsake of their entire experience. The Facilitator’s Guide provides all the content you need to guide your group, including what you’ll need to set up each month, ways to open and close your time, and what to do during each monthly gathering.

Praying Differently: A Year of Experiencing Twelve Prayer Practices
Do small group differently! Rather than reading another book about prayer, what if you spent a year practicing twelve different ways to do it? This year-long small group experience invites you to do exactly that. Each month, you will be invited to learn about, explore, and practice twelve distinct forms of prayer.
Praying Together, Praying Alone
The beauty of this group experience is that it combines both personal and communal prayer. Small groups will gather together once a month to reflect on the prior month’s prayer experience and practice the next one. In between gatherings, participants spend personal time engaging in each prayer form in a variety of ways through the Prayer Portals journal. It’s a great combination of shared reflection and personal devotion. And with a full year, your group has time to explore prayer unhurriedly, while connecting more deeply with one another. Whether you’re new to prayer or a life-long person of faith, we believe Prayer Portals will invite you into deeper waters.
